You've still got access to the global pointer system, so it will be found in there...

Haven't done it myself yet though.

ahh, i didn't notice that in my include dir.

a quick search of the includes shows that it is not referenced by any of the sdk headers, so I guess I have to include it separately.

and hope it works

I was thinking, has anybody every tried the functions like GetWindowLong with darkBasic?

HWND CurrentWindow = GlobStruct.hWnd; // no?
Failing that, it'll automatically name the window 'Dark Basic Professional Program' or something like that, so:

GetWindowByTitle( "Dark Basic Professional Program" );

woudl probably be the simplist way.. but that'd screw up if you change it.

Close. The way to do it is:

#include "globstruct.h" // Naturally!

then you can access is like this:

HWND WindowHandle = g_pGlob->hWnd;
